To many of us, goldenrods are seen only as the growth of tall yellow-flowering plants that appear along roadsides and in the fields of late summer. We seldom stop to take a close look or try to discern the different species. But goldenrods are a widespread and diverse group of native perennial composites. About 100 species grow in a variety of habitats across North America. In my region, northeastern Minnesota, I regularly see about a dozen kinds in various habitats. I have become fascinated by these plants and their numerous and amazingly diverse visitorsinsects, spiders, slugs, treefrogs, mites and more. In this book we sort out all the visitors that can be seen on the goldenrod flowers and stems of late summer. We also help you identify the dozen species that inhabit the North Woods.

Your Guide to Spiders and Their Webs 
We see webs everywhere, but do you know which spider made each web? And for what purpose? This user-friendly guide by award-winning science teacher and lifelong spider watcher Larry Weber helps you untangle the mystery of spider webs and demystify the many purposes of silk. Did you know that spiders have up to seven silk glands and that each produces a different type of silk? The complex process of building a giant orb web is explained in detail. Over 40 species of spiders and their webs are discussed here in detail, with over 200 color photos and 50 illustrations. 
Web Watching was a Silver Winner in the Nature &amp; Environment category of the 31st Annual IBPA Benjamin Franklin Awards for excellence in book publishing.
